Real Photography

 



These are the photo in my imaginary landscape. The old victorain house is a really house named Carson from Eureka,CA. If you look at the previous post you can tell that I took out a pretty big chuck of the buildings and a lot of the greenry in order to get like the "bare bones" sort of speak so I  can really do anything I wanted with it. I changed the hue and the light visiable with on the house and the greenry that i decided to keep. The next picture are drawings that I have made just for the fantasy landscape. I wanted to include these little guys because they kinda reminded me of the ghost in The Corpse Bride of even the ghost Zero in the Nightmare Before Christmas.  In the landscape I change their opacity and gave then a cyan hue so they wont like disappear when they printed out. The last picture is a picture take by my friend Caroline Parks a few yeasr ago when we went hiking. Shes an ameuter photographer thats kinda why it looks so epic. She let me use the sky for my fantasy landscape and i think it actually turned out really well. The boarder was not a photograph or a drawing. I actully did all the detail with various brushes and it took forever but i think it was worth it....

Landscapes!!


 This is my fantasy landscape.I know theres two not be confused I just wasnt 100%  sure which one I loved more.  The one with the boarder I feel has so much more character and places with the idea of a fantasy more then the landscape without a boarder. Plus i think the house in the picture with the boarder is pushed to the background and doesnt command as much attention as the house in the boarderless landscape. I also just think the board is so "alice in wonderland". Very playful in a dark way which kind of pulls in me to it because i love dark, gothic like visual attaractions. I enjoy the ghosts on the boarderless landscape because I find them to be so amuzing. They are a more impactful piece of the landscape amd stand out more then the ghosts on the  landscape with a boarder. As hard as i worked on that boarder the landscape without the boarder just stands out more then the one with a boarder, even though the one with the boarder has that dark "tim burton" "nightmare before christmas" feeling i was going for... will i guess i'll just print them both out and see what my peers think....well be putting up the real photos soon

LaNdScApE RoUgH!!!


Theres are myu roughs for the Landscape Project. My story is kind of a glimpse in into my mind. I want the landscpae to be filled with all the things that I like and be a representation of my. I love directors like Tim Burton and Shane Acker because their visions are totally unique and original and have a lot to do with the things that I like. The first picture is how I want the general outline to be of my landscape. I want the sky to be kind of gloomy and I want the would landscape to be dark and give people the same feelings I get when I watch a movie like " The Nightmare Before Christmas" ( by Tim Burton) or "9" (by Shane Acker). I wanted incooperate a boarder simliar to the one in the second picture so  people can really get the feeling of looking in the my head and seeing the world as I see it. I want to use this boarder because I was something similar to this one on a "Corpse Bride" movie poster and I was drawn to it bcause of all the little details and just the way it was structured made me like it more. The last picture just a rough drawing of some ghost like creature I want to incooperate in the landscape some sort of way because I love their shapes and I think they will add to the over all atmosphere that I am going for.
Theres I also a buliding structure that I want to infuss in the landscape to but I havent been able to fine a reference that would work with what I going for...
I have no clue how this is going to tuirn out but I will do my best to make it as close as possible to what i want.



PoStCaRdS!!!




My wonderful postcards.... the story behind my postcards is that i wanted my squid to venture and explore varies attractions in California. The first place my squid wenr was to the Golden Gate brigde. I love this postcard because I worked really hard to get the squid in that location and I worked hard to make the brigde look the was it does. The next place my squid went was the Santa Monica Pier. I admit I didnt do my best. In all honesty I ranout of time and that was really my throw away post card. I really didnt like the way that postcard turned out. Finally my squid went to Sea World. Sea World was one of my favorite places to go to when I was younger and I wanted to recreate one of my favorite attractions at sea world... Shamu! I didnt world very hard to get the animals in the positions that they ended up being in..The hardest part was deciding when it was complete. I keep changing the colors and textures but I did work hard on the logo.. I think that was my favorite part.
